Depth perception problems is a common symptom of concussions. It requires a lot of brain power to process the images from each eye and stitch them together in a way the brain can understand. That stitching and processing is where depth perception is computed.
Wow, 25 mgs to start. Is the amitriptyline for insomnia and head aches or something else. 25 mgs is a common starting dose for depression.
The fatigue from a hour neuro appointment sounds familiar. I can see how your brain is still struggling. When I have an intense appointment like that, I plan on needing a recovery day.
I bet your head aches are from the all day 'screen time.' That is a lot of visual stimulation for a concussed brain. Do you have your screen set high or as low as possible? I struggle to look back and forth from my desk to my screen due to the repetitive flexing of my neck. To make it worse, I were trifocals and need the middle lens (still low in my glasses) to see the screen. I do much better with my laptop because the screen is so much lower.
Is your impact spot just skull bone or is it near a joint or other soft tissue like the top of the neck?
Have you ever had your upper neck MRI'd? Disjointed occiput/C-1 joint is common to head impacts. Mine has been a problem for 12 years. I have not had the funds to get any treatment there.
My best to you.
